Complaints are different and can be heard on a wider variety of subjects, including concerns about courses or related academic services. For example, concerns about teaching, facilities or adjustments, are dealt with as complaints. It's important to identify whether you're complaining or appealing. If you're unsure whether you need to appeal or complain, check with your student services team first.
Time limits and grounds for appeal vary from university to university so it's important to check your university's policy carefully. The OIA doesn't rule on matters of academic judgement. So if you have been given a lower grade than expected this can only be changed if unfair bias can be shown, an error in adding up the grade proved or there were mitigating circumstances that effected your performance.
The OIA can't change a grade because you disagree with the examiner. On what grounds can I appeal? Every appeal is different but common examples include: Mitigating circumstances like illness or personal problems that affected your performance, which you were unable to tell your department about at the time.
Mitigating circumstances which your department were aware of, but you do not think were taken into consideration. You believe your degree classification was not calculated correctly. A procedural problem over the way an exam or assessment was conducted or marked. Disputes over extensions or penalties for missed deadlines. Problems with the provision of tuition, resources or supervision. Mitigating circumstances Mitigating circumstances are normally exceptional, short term, unforeseen and unpreventable events that may have a significantly disruptive effect on your ability to take assessments.

Aggrieved student wins right to challenge degree grade in full trial 9 December by Rosalind English Siddiqui v University of Oxford [] EWHC 5 December — read judgment This case raises the interesting question of whether a disappointed graduate may call upon the courts to redress a grievance concerning the grade he was given for his degree; not just what his ground of claim should be, but whether this is the kind of grievance which should be navigated through the courts at all.
Background facts The claimant joined the College in October as an undergraduate student. Issues before the Court The claim was finally brought in , and the University applied to have it struck out. The pleaded case plainly includes the propositions that the University did not provide adequate teaching; that it was aware it lacked sufficient teaching staff to teach the course properly; and that it did not do enough, or indeed anything, to make good the deficiency Some of the matters pursued in this claim might need expert evidence addressing the Bolam test.
The Limitation Act issues should, in other words, be left to a trial judge to determine. Share: Email Tweet. Like this: Like Loading Log in to Reply. Dan Smith says:. The guy needs his head testing.
